Is this risk present? Yes, preventive measures are required No Not applicable

### Information

Noise is an unwanted sound.

- **Possible sources: **noise of the building’s installations, of machinery, of office equipment, detonation of ammunition during shooting practice, noise by human beings, crowds, …
- Noise can cause considerable hearing damage. The intensity (loudness) and exposure duration determine whether noise is hazardous. Rule of thumb: ‘private security guards should be able to hear each other at one metre distance without raising their voice’.
- Noise can also be a source of annoyance and disturbance, if it interferes with the job or if the job is very complex.

**Make sure the client informs you (security company) and the private security guards **about the risks and measures in place.

Check whether the client:

- Has identified the source(s) of the noise + limit or reduce noise at source.
- Ensures technical maintenance of workplaces, installations, …
- Provides work signs and PPEs.

Promotes working habits and behaviour that are not noisy.
